Seruwawila

In times of war in East the renovations and constructions of “Neelapabbatha Viharaya” considered to be built up king Kavanthissa in the second century BC were initiated by Sadaham Vijaya Foundation and abandoned for some time due to numerous barriers. It is now re-started and constructions are going on under a new name Sri Sumedhankara Vana Senasuna in memory of Most Venerable Dhambagasaare Sumedhankara Thero who pioneered to re-build up Mangala Mahaa Seeya in Seruwawila which was a mere mound when found by him because of vandalism carried out by invaders.
